Modifying & Recompiling Source Characters with XSI, part of the Noesis Interactive™ MOD Your World™ training series, details specific methods for extracting, decompiling, modifying and finally recompiling character and prop models in Half-Life®2.

Using a powerful combination of the XSI Mod Tool, various third party apps and Valves own SDK learn to quickly Adapt Your Character for use in mods and machinima.

Start by extracting either an Episode 1 or Orange Box model from the source game files, then learn how to easily modify the extracted information so that it can be correctly deconstructed and tailored to fit your needs. Once youve made any adjustments follow guided step by step instructions to gather your new assets and combine them back into a prop or character model for use in game. You can even mash existing animation data from other characters onto your new one!
If youre looking for a thorough and straight forward guide to modifying characters in Valves® Source engine this is it!

DVD topics covered include:




* GCF extraction procedures and tools




* Decompiling both episode 1 and OB game models




* Refining edges and fixing imported 3d meshes




* Re-rigging and weighting final models




* Exporting models




* QC Overview

I don't think these are comparable, this is based on modeling and the one your talking about is either ingame sequences, or machinima. Therefore your statement cant really correspond to this dvd.

ye, but i usually think 4 myself, of cource, this dvd is good, but it's so eassy, i lerned how to do it by myself in 2 days, this dvd doesn't cost that much, but the machinima dvd covers animation part. I mean that this dvd is not so usfull, as machinima.

ahhaahh, don't buy it, buy noesis machinima dvd, that is way better
